Since this isn't actually a bug in Avahi, I've marked it as invalid.

Title:
  Avahi is ignoring symlinks in /etc/avahi/services/

Status in “avahi” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The files listed in /etc/avahi/services/ are published as services by Avahi to the network (if correct).
  However, when a service file is actually a symbolic link to the actual file in another directory, Avahi ignores it and does not publish it (even after a reboot).

  For example:
  Installing phpmyadmin creates a symbolic link /etc/avahi/services/phpmyadmin.service pointing to ../../phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.service.
  This service isn't listed when executing "avahi-browse -at".
  If I replace the symbolic link with the actual file or with a hard link, the service is published correctly.

  The problem isn't with the phpmyadmin service, because it also occurs
  with other services (for example, with the example services in
  /usr/share/doc/avahi-daemon/examples/).

  I'm using Saucy.
